Summary of "They're Just Completely Wrong"
Overview
The speaker reacts to what they believe is an incorrect (possibly AI-generated) social media post from Dexerto. The post allegedly credits Moist Critical (aka Moist Critical) with praising The Boys’ Season 5, and the speaker argues the attribution and summary are fundamentally wrong.
Main points of the argument
Wrong attribution / headline misrepresentation
- The speaker claims Dexerto’s Instagram post says Moist Critical praised Season 5 and described it as successful due to factors such as:
- pacing,
- a balance between satire/violence,
- emotional depth,
- and bold storytelling.
- The speaker insists these claims do not match what Moist Critical actually said in his video.
- They argue the Dexerto summary is essentially fabricated or hallucinated.
The speaker’s stance on Season 5
- In their own video (which Dexerto allegedly summarized), the speaker says Season 5 is the weakest season so far.
- Their main criticism is pacing—describing it as slow and bloated.
- However, they strongly disagree with the idea that the season is simply “all filler.”
Why they reject the “filler” criticism
The speaker defends plot elements others call filler, including:
-
Terror’s side quest (including the Homelander toy/banging it)
- They argue it is not filler because it provides meaningful insight.
- It shows fallout from the group.
- It also reveals something important about Butcher’s remaining humanity—described as a “glimmer” of human feeling.
-
Firecracker storyline
- They argue it is crucial for deepening her internal conflict about God vs. Homelander.
- This includes a pastor relationship and ultimately a decisive betrayal of faith.
- The arc culminates in her death.
-
They concede the season has padding/bloat (too much focus for too long), but maintain that these moments still move the plot forward and develop character arcs.
Other complaints they say Dexerto got wrong
The speaker adds that Dexerto didn’t accurately represent their criticisms, including:
- Homelander feels “stupider” than before.
- New weaknesses are introduced abruptly (example: “Malchemical”, described as an alcoholic/ability that can knock him out via breath).
- Kimiko’s writing
- While the speaker initially supported Kimiko being able to speak (after being built up over seasons),
- they claim the show undermines it by limiting her dialogue to “porn/Jinzy/TikTok slang,”
- which they argue makes her feel one-dimensional and reduces emotional depth.
Overall conclusion
The speaker’s central claim is that Dexerto’s post is deeply inaccurate, likely AI-generated, and intended to promote a misleading summary. They further argue that a real viewer of Moist Critical’s video would not come away with Dexerto’s stated impressions.
